Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I am trying to recover data from a Hitachi hard drive. I noticed the following symptoms, when I plug in the drive to see if it is detected in the BIOS. The BIOS does not see the drive;however, when I try detecting the drive under disk management in Windows 7 receive the error "block index out of bounds". I have tried several types of tools such as DMDE, DDRescue, SIFT Workstation ;however, none of the tools were able to successfully see any data on the drive. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on any other tools or methodologies that could possibly recover the data on the drive.

If Bios not see it, the os won't see it either.
If your files are valuable take the drive to a DR company

I was finally able to get it to detect the drive somewhat in DMDE under Windows 7;however, the program seems to only recover 8 gb of the drive and gets a bunch of read and IO errors on many of the sectors when it starts to scan through the drive to detect a partition.
